Grand Trunk Continues Rapid Growth

The growth continues at Grad Trunk, a leader in adventure travel products. In fact, the company has just moved into an expanded facility that doubles its available office and warehouse space. Grand Trunk's corporate headquarters is now located at 8136 Monticello Avenue in Skokie, Ill. The company's move ensures Grand Trunk can continue to accommodate new employees while also staying well positioned to meet increased consumer demand. Grand Trunk officially moved on November 1 from nearby office space, which was also located in Skokie.

"As we looked at our company's rapid growth and our plans for continued expansion, it became apparent that additional space was needed," said Kevin Kaiser, founder of Grand Trunk. "But, we definitely liked our existing location and didn't want to move too far. After all, within 15 minutes of our headquarters, you'll find millions of active-minded consumers who share our company's passion for travel, adventure and discovery. Moving forward, we want to make sure that these folks â€“ and people just like them around the globe â€“ continue to have fast and easy access to our products."

Grand Trunk's current product offering includes quality-crafted hammocks, travel accessories, beach gear, and related outdoor products. For more complete details, please visit the company online at www.GrandTrunkGoods.com or call 877-365-2965.

Grand Trunk salutes the travelers â€“ explorers of the world, adventurers abroad, weekend warriors, urban campers â€“ who share our belief in discovering the world around them, whether down the street or across the globe. Because we believe that once you're on the road, anything is possible.
